Ultimately disappointing sequel. (2.5 stars)

Granskad i Storbritannien den 27 juni 2019

Verifierat köp

There's nothing wrong with the story, it's handling of the truly 'alien mind set' is interesting and the action pieces are well handled. It's steady if somewhat predictable sequel. My issues are in the writing and structure of the novel - the editor needed to be firmer with the writer. It's verbose, there's way too much meandering and character self introspection and there a complete section of the book, some 60 pages of social backstory leading to an event that could have been dealt with in 10 pages. These issues brought a tedium to reading which I had to fight in order to finish the novel. Not a patch on the first book in the series.

Justine (I Should Read That)

A fantastic sequel to one of my favourite books!

Granskad i Storbritannien den 6 juni 2019

Some of you may know that Children of Time is one of my absolute favourite novels. I love the incredible scope, storytelling, and world that Tchaikovsky captures on the page. Children of Ruin is a fantastic sequel that expands on everything that made the first book great, all while serving a compelling and gorgeous story.

Children of Ruin expands well on the story initially told in Children of Time, but still manages to hold onto the things I loved from the first book. I can go on and on about how brilliant the storytelling in Children of Time is, as well as the incredibly intricate way he manages to show an entire culture evolving from primal hunters to a space-faring society. I absolutely loved the way that the spiders were presented and how they evolved in the first book, and was so worried that we wouldn’t get anything as interesting in Children of Ruin. However, he manages to show a similar evolution of a non-human society that doesn’t feel like a rehashing of the Portiid society. I loved the way life was explored, expanded on, and evolved on both Nod and Damascus. I loved that this book had so many horror elements to it. I loved the way the Portiids and humans interacted not only among themselves, but toward a new species. I loved the backstory of the terraformers. Basically, I just loved this book.

We get a good mix of our favourite Portiid descendants — Fabian, Portia, and Bianca — as well as human descendants of the Gilgamesh’s crew. It was so interesting to see how humans and Portiids are still getting to know each other and adjusting to each other’s customs, despite the generations between first contact and their present situation. Seeing them, particularly Helena and Portia, attempt to communicate with each other and with the the new species was just fabulous.

If you liked Children of Time, I really think you’ll enjoy Children of Ruin. Although it feels a lot like the first book in terms of general plot and story structure, Children of Ruin introduces so many new elements and continues to expand and explore familiar themes. Children of ruin combines elements of creeping horror with some of my favourite science fiction tropes — space exploration and first contact. Throw in a healthy dose of linguistics, and you have this absolutely brilliant book.

Fantastic

The first book in this saga, Children Of Time, was intelligent, thought provoking, clever, scientifically sound and ...a damn fine entertainment of a read. This sequel, Children of Ruin, is all the above again..... but even more so. In my experience sequels so often dissapoint by getting bogged down in recaping from the prequel and/or wandering too far from what made the initial storyline so appealing. Mr Tchaikovsky makes no such mistakes. However you must read the first book first in order to get the most from this excellent follow up. Best book,....in any genre..... that I've read for a very very long time.

Not quite as brilliant as the first one but still very good

Granskad i Storbritannien den 7 september 2020

This takes the thread from the epilogue of the last book and weaves a new story from it. It follows a similar pattern to the last book in that it alternates from the 'present day' timeline to events in the past. The joint spider/human crew is on a mission to explore a signal it's received from a distant solar system. What they find there are two planets, one with life that has also evolved from an earth species that has been genetically tampered with, and the other something completely different. What follows is an exploration of what happen with four very different intelligent species meet for the first time.

Though there are broad similarities to the framework of this compared to the first, it has quite a different feel to it. The aliens are even more strange and incomprehensible than the spiders and though it is very interesting and well done, I didn't engage quite as much as I did previously. I really liked the exploration of the consequences of the 'enhancements' of the humans and seeing how the relationship between the species has played out. Though very successful it is not quite as happily ever after as made out from the first book.

There is no extended evolution of a species in this one, well not quite. The flashbacks are all pretty much spent at the same point in time, that of the destruction of the past (our future) human civilisation. This time it is with a crew in the active process of terraforming a new world but dealing with the fallout of that destruction and also with discovering true alien life on another world. These parts have an almost horror-esque vibe to them in places and were my favourite parts of the book. The present day timeline though good, didn't engage me as much, maybe because I couldn't connect as easy to the characters, the best one by far is the strange human/machine/organic computing AI that is Avrana Kern, she/it is brilliant. The end felt a little rushed and a bit too pat but didn't take too much away from my overall enjoyment.

The imagination on show by the author is really great, he manages to explore really great ideas and cool concepts while also writing a good story, it's a hard combination to pull off. Now I'm sure that I will have to read more of his stuff, and he seems absolutely prolific which is always a bonus.

A worthy sequel to Children of Time

Granskad i Storbritannien den 28 januari 2021

Verifierat köp

Was it chance or ill fate that Adrian Tchaikovsky should write a novel featuring a pernicious virus called Corvid, to be publish in 2019? The alignment of such possibilities is itself meat for science fiction, of which Children of Ruin is a fine example and worthy sequel to the award-winning Children of Time. The spliced-in horror is entirely apt and sees Tchaikovsky extending his genre reach to spine-chilling effect. With a plot centred around a conflict involving no less that five sentient species, the moral appropriately remains relativistically reconcile, which nevertheless make a final showdown somewhat troublesome. Indeed, The narrative come slightly unbuttoned toward the end but that is forgivable with so many balls in the air. Overall, certainly a good read.
